How do you differentiate #y = cos sec^2(x)#? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Derivatives of y=sec(x), y=cot(x), y= csc(x) 1 Answer Anees Apr 13, 2015 #(dy)/(dx)=-2sec^2xtanx(sinsec^2(x))# #y=(cossec^2(x))# Differentiating both side with respect to 'x' #(dy)/(dx)=d/(dx)(cossec^2(x))# #(dy)/(dx)=-sinsec^2(x)d/(dx)(sec^2(x))# #(dy)/(dx)=-sinsec^2(x)(2secx)(d/(dx)(secx))# #(dy)/(dx)=-sinsec^2(x)(2secx)(secxtanx)# #(dy)/(dx)=-sinsec^2(x)(2sec^2xtanx)# #(dy)/(dx)=-2sec^2xtanx(sinsec^2(x))# Answer link Related questions What is Derivatives of #y=sec(x)# ?
